Local Crime Spree Unfolds with Arrests for Drug Possession, Theft, and Violent Threats

Local Woman Arrested for Misdemeanor Marijuana Possession

In an intriguing turn of events at a local apartment complex, 29-year-old Qontaviya Erving was arrested for misdemeanor possession of marijuana. The arrest report sheds light on a deeper story, detailing how Erving allegedly assisted her boyfriend in selling significant amounts of marijuana directly from their apartment. Once her arrest was processed, Erving quickly got back on her feet, posting a $2,000 bond and securing her release.

Interestingly, her boyfriend, who seems to be at the center of this operation, hasn’t been added to the online jail records. Was she the mastermind behind the operation, or just another pawn in the game? The police haven’t provided further information about the boyfriend, leaving many questions unanswered.

Plans for New Tennis Center Scrapped in Bryan

In a more corporate-style development, the Bryan City Council is set to take a crucial step next week on December 10th to officially scrap plans for a proposed indoor tennis center at Bryan’s Midtown Park. In a recent announcement, it was revealed that the city would terminate agreements with Texas A&M, its design contractor, and the external operator after facing multiple roadblocks.

Initially aiming for a $17 million budget, the project has been bogged down by rising construction costs and an extended design process. City officials and university representatives have agreed to split the costs already incurred—around $851,943—and focus on more feasible projects. While this might be a disappointment for tennis fans and the local economy, the termination agreement cites “significant and increasing construction costs” as the crux of the decision.

Plans for the two-story facility were ambitious, with space for six tennis courts, twelve pickleball courts, and six volleyball courts, aimed at boosting the local sports scene and even serving as a venue for SEC and NCAA tournaments. The agreements had suggested that the center could generate annual profits and contribute over $4.4 million to the economy by its fifth year. However, it appears that the allure of high projections couldn’t outweigh reality.

Theft and Fraud Incidents Cause Stir in College Station

Meanwhile, the quiet streets of College Station have been rocked by theft as 53-year-old Troy Tarver was arrested last Saturday for switching price tags at a local Target. Tarver’s sneaky tactics led him to pay just over $93 for items that totaled nearly $680. Surveillance footage readily caught Tarver in the act, ultimately landing him in hot water with theft and fraud charges, alongside a hefty bond of $7,000 to secure his release.

Tarver’s troubles don’t end here, as he was rearrested on December 4th for a theft charge from a previous incident. To top it all off, he awaits trials for prior felony theft and drug cases, making this a story of mounting legal woes for Tarver.

Teenage Trouble in Bryan: More Legal Woes

Adding to the string of arrests, 17-year-old Ethan Weeks finds himself back in trouble after threatening a College Station woman with a gun, violating a protection order. This isn’t his first rodeo, as he’s also awaiting trial for a previous incident where he struck someone over the age of 65. Weeks currently sits in jail with a hefty bond totaling $75,500.

Vehicle Burglaries Shake Local Schools

The rising crime wave has even trickled down to the local schools as three young men were apprehended after breaking into an unlocked pickup truck and making off with a wallet containing $41,000. The swift action by local police was sparked by a vigilant front desk receptionist at a Bryan ISD school who spotted the suspicious activities. The trio of suspects, aged 17 and 18, are now facing vehicle burglary and organized crime charges, each with an $8,000 bond.

As these local stories keep unfolding, it serves as a reminder of the ups and downs of life in Bryan, where not all news is good news, but community vigilance remains as strong as ever.
